In her own words: “The greatest gift I can give my students is a better reading ability and the love of learning. I love to be out and about and be approached by a grown-up who I taught as a first-, second-, or third-grader and share a memory or two – Hallmark can’t package and sell that!”
“I do whatever it takes to get my students as far from their starting line with me as possible. If it takes documenting for extra help, using more technology, organizing materials in a different way, taking more time to create more appealing learning materials, writing explanations to parents, sharing personal books and sources, or going to bat for a student’s needs, that’s what I try to accomplish.”
In the words of others: “Mrs. Walker’s students love her, and the parents in the Cedar Brook Elementary community know of her high expectations, thoroughness, and support for all.” Jeffrey Post, Cedar Brook Elementary Principal
“Her enthusiasm, love and passion for teaching and her students have hardly a rival on our staff… and we have an amazing group of teachers at Cedar Brook Elementary. She is conscientious, collaborative, organized and creative – and these words only begin to describe the teacher Pam Walker. Michele Gabriel, Cedar Brook Elementary Assistant Principal
